Title: Method and apparatus for cooling a material to be removed from the grate of a fluidized bed furnace
Inventor: NYBERG JENS
IPC: F27D9/00
Filed: 2004-07-14
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for cooling a material to be removed from the grate of a fluidized bed furnace. Material at a high temperature is passed from the grate of the fluidized bed furnace into a fluidized bed cooler in charges of a given size by measuring the quantity of the material accumulating in the fluidized bed cooler. When the quantity of the material in the cooler has reached a predetermined limit value, the supply of material into the fluidized bed cooler is prevented. The charge is cooled in the fluidized bed cooler by fluidization air and via heat transfer into a cooling liquid circulation system and the temperature of the charge is measured. The charge is removed when the temperature of the charge has fallen to a predetermined limit value.
Patent CA-2537237-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WINTER JOHN A
IPC: B23K35/26
Filed: 2004-08-19
Abstract: The invention relates to using the heat generated during thermal treatment of one or more glass sheets to melt solder. In one nonlimiting embodiment, a lead providing external access to an electrical conductive arrangement, e.g. a conductive member between and connected to spaced bus bars between laminated sheets has an end portion of a connector, e.g. a lead soldered to each of the bus bars during thermal processing of the sheets, e.g. during the lamination of the sheets during a windshield manufacturing process. In another nonlimiting embodiment, the connector is soldered to the electrically conductive arrangement during the annealing of glass blanks following the heating and shaping of the glass blanks. Soldering the leads during the annealing or laminating process eliminated possible thermal damage to the sheet by having the sheet heated during the soldering operation instead of only a small surface portion of the sheet at and eliminates the cost of a separated soldering operation.

Title: Extinguishing fires and suppressing explosions
Inventor: HERZOG HANS-JOACHIM
IPC: B05B1/34
Filed: 2006-05-19
Abstract: A fire extinguishing or explosion suppression device comprises a chamber (38) and a nozzle (29, 32a-d). The nozzle (29, 32a-d) defines a discharge pathway from the chamber (38). The chamber has an inlet (40) for pressure-driven introduction of a liquid (46) into the chamber (38). The chamber (38) is shaped so that a gas contained in the chamber before the introduction of the liquid (46) is entrained into the liquid (46) during the pressure driven introduction of the liquid such that a mixture of the liquid and the gas is discharged through the nozzle (29, 32a-d) to create a mist (50) for extinguishing a fire or suppression of an explosion. After the gas has been discharged from the chamber (38), the nozzle (29) produces a spray having a core of larger liquid droplets (54) with the core being surrounded by smaller liquid droplets (56).
